The glass cooking tray is a work space for
heating food or liquids. It is necessary for the
operation of the microwave.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish
•
Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a small
upturned plate with a container below it so that
the defrosting liquid collects in the container.
•
Turn the food after half of the defrosting time. If
possible, divide and then remove the pieces that
started to defrost.

aluminium packaging before defrosting.
